Information Regarding Correct Incubation: All Poultry Eggs - Borotto LUMIA 8 Translation Of The Original Instructions

USEFUL TIP: to permanently control the level of humidity and automatic input of water in the machine, you can
use the automatic SIRIO humidifier, which is available from Borotto incubator sales outlets or from the website:
www.borotto.com
ATTENTION: do not cover the incubator with blankets for any reason nor close it in boxes thinking this will lead to
energy savings! The incubator is designed to exchange the air inside it through the holes at the bottom: if the
embryo does not breathe it will die of asphyxiation!
SUGGESTION: change the position of the eggs every 5 days, moving those in the centre of the incubator with
those on the sides (this is to ensure better even hatching).

SUMMARY: During incubation maintain temperature at 37.7°C and fill only one tray of water.
In the last 3 days before expected hatching, the eggs must not be turned any longer, they must be laid on the
hatching grid, and humidity must be increased by filling the second tray as well. Set the temperature at 37.2°C
The incubation days table is indicative, it is recommended to leave the incubator on for 2 or 3 days more than the
indicated deadline to allow laggards to hatch.
